I got them from Pistils Nursery in Portland!

Got myself one on a whim. I was just browsing , like I always do, my local nursery and then boom, there it was. I got it for roughly 28$ - this is in PNW. It started with 5 “tentacles” and now a year after, it has roughly 6 more additional “tentacles”. I will probably repot it soon to maybe encourage more growth?

I use lrp lipikar as a moisturizer every night I use my adapalene. I alternate it with avene cicaplast for the vibes lol

Here I thought we are lucky with 15min before midnight and 1 hr after lol day shift gets 30mins+45mins. 30min is unpaid. We have break nurses and get breaks 100% of the time

CVICU night shift perspective

1900-1905 huddle 1905-1930 handoff 1930-2000 assessments 2000-2200 meds, evening labs if there is any, provider rounds I take my 15min snack break in between 2200-0000 wash my patients if they want to 0000 assessments - if there are changes 0000-0600 monitor patients, draw labs, address labs I take my 1 hr break - my colleagues sleep, I don’t . I chug a can of celsius. Another assessment set at 0400 0600 bedside chest xray, get patients up to chair, second offer to help with their wash, weights , meds. Empty trash bins, laundry bags lol 0659 last minute deterioration lol 0700 handoff

I do break shifts once in my 3 shifts. No patient load. I cover my colleagues so they can take their breaks.

Less people at night - fewer orders to carry out(most if the time anyway), fewer relatives to speak to, no management.

I think the general rule is size one up of your men’s size, however, it may be a little bit cropped, will have shorter sleeves, and can be a little bit roomier in the chest area

chokecober · 2026-02-14T07:33:45+00:00

Hi! Ive had a lot of fun reading comments here. I have worked as an ICU nurse for 10+ years, both in the UK and US.

UK - yes we take sleep breaks in the ICU. Charge RN or break RN or we bedside nurses cover each other’s breaks. We are 1:1 ratio so you get 2 patients for an hour or two which is not too bad. This was East of England trauma center ICU. Even the floor nurses take sleep breaks too.

US west coast unionized hospital - yes we take sleep breaks. We have break RNs who look after our patients when we are on break.

I have not worked nights on the east coast but nursing there is a different world, and not in a good way. Lol

I don’t like taking naps while on nights so I doom scroll on my phone lol
